The Suburbs Lyrics

In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leaving

You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting in a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again

The kids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams, we're still screaming and running through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothing at all
Meant nothing at all
It meant nothing

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night

So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
Show her some beauty before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Then send me a son

Under the overpass
In the parking lot, we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
'Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passed

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again

I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling

In my dreams, we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming

What is the Meaning of The Suburbs?

Growing up in a suburban neighborhood can feel like a nostalgic yet bittersweet journey. Arcade Fire captures the essence of youthful rebellion, the search for meaning, and the inevitable passage of time in their poetic lyrics. The song reflects on learning to drive, the pressures of society, and the dreams of escaping mundane realities. It contrasts the innocence of childhood with the disillusionment of adulthood, yearning for simpler times while acknowledging that those days are long gone. 🚗 Through these reflections, it explores themes of freedom, regret, and hope for the future. #Nostalgia #ComingOfAge #SuburbanLife
